Brief Answer:
No color change but diarrhea commonly reported
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
i read your question and i understand your concern. Amox-clav combination is a good antibiotic for wound but sometimes a person may get diarrhea from using it. Change in color of the stools is not significantly reported and should not be bothered about unless it is blood or melena which would have no connection with the antibiotic.
I hope it helps. Take good care of your wound and yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Brief Answer:
Not possible

Thank you for getting back to me
As I mentioned this antibiotic may change the consistency and cause diarrhea but not the color of the stools. If there is a color change that is not attributable to this. Other etiologies need to be sorted out.
I hope it helps.
